I’m so grateful to have found Lee and Leash & Beyond K9 Solutions. I thought I was getting a 45 lb cuddler and Kira grew quickly into a 70 lb supercharged bundle of energy. After two expensive trainer fails, Lee was our 3rd attempt and very successfully trained us to be a great team - obedient dog and knowledgeable handler. Now we are back with LBK9 learning to work as a therapy dog team!

LILO and I just finished our first 12 weeks of her training towards being a service dog. I cannot speak highly enough of Lee and the team from not just the training aspect, but the knowledge that was freely given to make sure we succeed in this journey. We can’t wait to keep going and growing with you guys.

We adopted a German Shepherd last year who had several issues that caused concern. She was calm with humans but reacting to every dog, squirrel, goose and weed eater like she was about to win her WWE title. I knew I needed help with Pepper to teach her how to stop being reactive, but I was not sure what that meant. My first meeting with Lee was different from other trainers because he wasn’t overly excited in sales mode or using e-collars to train. He had a lot of calm energy and we both needed that. I took Pepper to the first group training- which is free for life; and I was terrified because the dog was going nuts in the van. However, with some intense consistency, and repetitive motion she began to get less reactive. In a few months I have learned how to adjust my behavior and body language to make the most effective progress. I work full time, have 3 kids, lots of activities and I am still able to make time to follow the directions and see big results. She’s not losing her mind at the fence over the neighbors dog or yard crew, she isn’t stealing food off the table or digging up the irrigation pipes anymore. She’s not stressed at home now, and she’s listening when I need her to not chase raccoons or leave food the kids drop. She’s getting more attention because she’s easier to handle. Lee advised me on what to buy for collar and leashes, showing me what would work best and why without spending a fortune. He answered many questions about food, allergies, travel, and anything that has come up. The training away from home has been the most valuable and he has me closer to my goals to take her anywhere than I ever could have done on my own or with an app, and no electricity was needed. I am still working on more improvements and breaking bad habits but he’s giving me the education to teach her to be a good citizen. If you have a problem child that needs help, and you’re willing to put in the effort, you will absolutely not be disappointed. If you don’t know how to train yourself or family, he can help with that too! I’ve had very little experience with training dogs and I’ve seen 100% improvement from the start. This training is a long term goal that doesn’t really end with the package you buy, so if you want things to change and don’t want to yell at your dog or spend time covering up craters, then pick a plan and set goals for milestones. Lee will absolutely do his best to meet or beat your expectations and if you’re not getting results, he will provide other ways to improve. He does FaceTime and watches videos to keep you on track.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Lee has helped us train our Corgi, and ourselves, since she was just a few months old. His knowledge is priceless, his experience admirable and his demeanor, punctuality and efficiency all wrapped up into one is what any doggy needs to succeed. We recently decided to add on to our initial training when it came to an end because we are so happy with the results, and we know how much more Lee can teach us. Our Emmie Dog goes out with us everywhere thanks to Lee's training and we can't wait to see what else she can learn! Aside from the fantastic training with Lee, the "behind the scenes" staff is one of a kind! Leanne's attention to detail, organization, flexibility and kindness is a win overall for us with Leash and Beyond K9 Solutions.

We have the best experience for the leave. We would definitely use him again. We learned so much.

We just wrapped up our dog training with Lee, and wow… what an experience! 🐾 For Julio and me, this was so much more than teaching our dogs commands—it was an eye-opener. We learned that 98% of the time, it’s not our dogs that need “fixing”… it’s us learning to truly understand them. If we’d all slow down and really get to know our animals, we’d see they’ve been communicating with us all along. We’re beyond thankful for everything Lee taught us. Now, we get to continue building on this, enjoying life with our three big pups (yes, they’re only 8 months old, but trust me—they aren’t little 😅). Being able to take them anywhere with us is a dream come true, and they deserve nothing less than the world. ❤️🐶 #DogTraining #Grateful #HappyPups #BigBabies #PuppyLove

Best decision we made for my dog! Our rescue dog was very reactive and overwhelmed in placed with lots of people and would not listen to us in those times. Lee provided us with all the knowledge and help to get our boy through it. We started with basic training at home and then took it outside and then eventually to public spaces. Now we can take our dog anywhere. Not to mention, he is trained on commands and listens to us in all situations. Thank you Lee! Anyone looking for great training for your dogs, look no further.
